- I never use tetrodes myself and that is what QRO uses. Commander may have one of the best RF decks in the business. But their control board is in need of help generally particularly their switching.

- So if the ARRL lab test is correct, and the RF delay is 17 ms on the Eagle, then time to settle receiving again is 70-17=53 ms. The TS 590S total turn around is only 20 ms. If you want to break into
